Announcing the West Coast festivities for International PaperCut's Day: Outside, Looking In at C.A.V.E. Gallery in Venice, CA. And just like New Moon, the opening reception kicks down the door on February 11th. Outside, Looking In is a three-man show featuring a mix of highly stylized paintings and Cut-Paper artwork crafted with mind-consuming attention to detail and technical skill. Each artist challenges the viewer to create their own reality and understanding of wondrous, precarious and familiarly alien realms. A fascination with each composition is matched by a fascination with the technique used to create the works.

In addition to myself, the exhibit showcases the incomparable Messieurs Macsorro of Los Angeles and Shay Davis, hailing from San Diego. Admitting that I can't make it to the show makes me want to sob just a little bit, but I hope that you can. CAVE throws some great receptions (or so I've heard), and the art looks to be spectacular.

Strong With This One #wip.
Apparently, wood paper is a thing. I mean, of course paper made of wood isn’t new, but wood sliced so thin as to be paper seems to be. At least to me. It’s very handy for building faces, along with a pretty bronze-ish chiyogami for a shiny shadow

So many pieces, so many cuts. #wip for a new piece in the Paper Heroes show that just opened in Israel. It's nice to get a chance to work with bright colors again. It's been awhile

"Paper Heroes" goes live tomorrow, October 5,2017 at the old Jaffa Museum in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Paper cutting, origami, curling, paper sculpture and many more techniques have been employed by an international group of 36 artists, scattered across 3 continents, to depict or comment on their heroes or the idea of heroism.
I've got a couple pieces in the exhibition that run to the colorful, vibrant side of my art. There's even brand new work that speaks to my ideas of heroism on a couple of different levels, from the very tiny and personal to the massively galactic, from a long time ago to the immediate now.
